Sure, I’ve had the blues before, but it never felt like this. From what little research I’ve done, Karen Dalton is one of America’s most outstanding “lost” folk singers, whose voice needed an “acquired taste” to have been appreciated.
Speaking of acquired tastes, Bob Dylan was an early champion. Some say early wannabe. Check out the video of her version of “It Hurts Me Too,” which is just as nice to watch. Oh, and this song was featured in Margot at the Wedding.
